Lies to keep you straight

[LeatherPleasure]

That was one of the stupidest mistakes I have ever made, coming out to my mom. Ok so I was in my little brother's room earlier (he's like 11 or something) and we watched a little of Lord of the Rings. He said that Frodo and Sam remind him of a couple. Course, I think so too, so I agreed and we giggled about it. Then he said, that they must have aids. I went huh and he said the when a guy and a guy or a girl and a girl marry, they get aids. (Translation, when gay couples have sex they automatically get aids) Then I asked him about normal (straight) couples and he said they were fine.

This steamed me up (I didn't show up, I giggled and changed the topic) I thought about who could've told me this. My first thought..was school. But when I was at Dildine for the pubuerty thing..all we were told is how to handle our periods. So I'm sure they had something eqivalent. Plus that's homophobic so some parent would've thrown a fit about it. Then I remembered..my mom. She must've told him. She must be trying to "keep him straight" by telling him lies. He has never mentioned this before, which means it was told to him recently. (whenever something about pubuerty is told to him he always blabbs it)

Another thought..a kid at school could've told him. I would rather it be that than my mom..but..I have this feeling..I'm not sure and I'm too afraid to ask him where he heard that. Bullshit like this makes me mad (note, this could've been told by a stupid kid and this whole thread will be a waste ) Is my mom really afraid of me like that? Am I going to turn my little brother and sister gay? Do I sit there and lecture about how great their same sex is? Am I so evil by being me? Fuck her! She said that "she still loved me BUT" then listed how horrible this was. And ever since she has taken swings at me trying to "turn me straight" Fuck her again! Hate me for who I am then.

Sorry, it was long, but it's a ranting forum so I'll rant. *roar*

BTW: I'm not stupid, I know gay couples can get aids but so can straight ones. Wear protection..it's not that hard, durrr! (and yes, I also know gay ones can wear protection too)

Just because you have problems with parents doesn't make them automatic antagonists. It's doesn't mean they didn't tell your brother that, but it doesn't mean they did. And, chances are, that if you weren't told that growing up, your brother wasn;t either. As a kid you really can't be that certain and completely stable in a subject over the period of time since you came you to your mom.

My vote is stupid kid at school. Kids watch TV and have access to the internet, and in our disease obbsessed world, especially with AIDS, everyone's trying to place the blame, and everyone with access to media is standing right in the cross fire. Eventually you get hit, and you latch onto an idea. And people, including kids, run around trying to get other people hooked too. More than likely, THAT's where I'd say your brother got it from.

Meh oki, I no longer care. I've been in a good mood today (and late last night) and I'm not going to pop it with this. I still think it could be either way but..whatever. If my mom hates me then fine. If my little brother hangs around morons then fine.
